ElikaDavida. Lapho azenza uhlanya ku-Abhimelekhi, owamxotshayo wahamba.
1 Ngizamphakamisa uThixo ngezikhathi zonke;
indumiso yakhe izahlala isezindebeni zami.
2 Umphefumulo wami uzaziqhenya Thixo
akuthi abahluphekileyo bezwe bajabule.
3 Bongani uThixo kanye lami;
kasiphakamiseni ibizo lakhe sonke, ndawonye.
4 Ngamdinga uThixo wangiphendula;
wangikhulula kukho konke engangikwesaba.
5 Labo abakhangele Kuye bayakhazimula;
ubuso babo abungeke bembeswe lihlazo.
6 Isihlupheki lesi samemeza, uThixo wasizwa;
wasisindisa kuzozonke inhlupheko zaso.
7 Ingilosi kaThixo iyabazungeza
labo abamesabayo, ibakhulule.
8 Nambithani libone ukuthi uThixo ulungile;
ubusisiwe umuntu ophephela Kuye.
9 Mesabeni Uthixo, lina bangcwele bakhe,
ngoba labo abamesabayo kabasweli lutho.
10 Izilwane zingaphela amandla zilambe,
kodwa labo abamdingayo uThixo kabasweli lutho oluhle.
11 Wozani, bantwabami, lalelani kimi;
ngizalifundisa ukumesaba uThixo.
12 Lowo othanda ukuphila
abone lezinsuku ezinhle kumele
13 anqande ulimi lwakhe kokubi
lezindebe zakhe ekukhulumeni inkohliso.
14 Tshiya ububi wenze okulungileyo;
funa ukuthula ukunxwanele.
15 Amehlo kaThixo akhangele abalungileyo
lezindlebe zakhe ziyezwa ukukhala kwabo;
16 ubuso bukaThixo bumelana lalabo abenza okubi,
ukuba acitshe ukukhunjulwa kwabo emhlabeni.
17 Abalungileyo bayakhala kuThixo abezwe;
uyabakhulula kuzozonke inhlupheko zabo.
18 UThixo useduze labo abalezinhliziyo ezephukileyo
asindise labo abadabukileyo emoyeni.
19 Umuntu olungileyo angaba lezinhlupheko ezinengi,
kodwa uThixo uyamkhulula kuzozonke.
20 Uyawavikela wonke amathambo akhe,
kungephuki loba lalinye.
21 Ububi buzambulala oyisixhwali;
izitha zolungileyo zizalahlwa.
22 UThixo uyazihlenga izinceku zakhe;
kakho ozalahlwa ophephela kuye.
